I assume this is not new, so it can wait for after 57. If someone could verify this with mozregression, it would be great.
I'm not 100% sure how the add-on code determines which URL to show here, it could be that the XPI is being downloaded from mozilla.slack.com...

Andy, has your team encountered this issue before?

This is by design. For example, if you go to lastpass and install their extension  - the URL dialog shows lastpass.com, even though it links over to AMO.
